Eco Style

Eco-friendly hotels and resorts, intentionally designed using natural renewable materials ensure a low footprint while combining comfort with sustainability. Using green strategies like natural lighting and ventilation, automatic lights, recycling, and reforestation of resort properties, these hotels have received sustainability recognition such as the Certification for Sustainable Tourism Award and others. You’ll find Eco-Style hotels built around volcanic hot springs, preserving the natural lush rainforest while channeling the healing warm waters into safe soaking grottos. In some places like the Peace Lodge, located just outside San Jose on grounds including 5 waterfalls, a commitment to the environment was made by bringing building materials in on foot instead of by machine to construct the trails and viewing platforms without harming existing plant life. Eco-hotels reflect the conscience of the Costa Rican people welcoming visitors to learn the value of natural landscapes in ways that promote protection as well as economic sustainability.
